Howling

Listen!...Hear the howling icy wind Old man with white hair and beard You with water, melted snow trickling Down your side coursing to the lake How high are you? Reaching the heavens Such a strong tower, protector of game People can run to you strong Rock Clouds boil over your white hair and beard Possible new snow will come from above Coating your hair and beard with new white That provides the stream with water come spring Stream that forms the cool, clear water of that River
